#1 Prayer beads? Amateur!

I believe it was Rantburg's own Jarhead who takes off his shoelaces once he's settled into his seat on the airplane, and ties them together to make a neat garrot... just in case. Not to mention the sock-full-of-coins cosh, and the 60 mph buns. Shoot, my high school biology teacher told stories of sharpening his belt buckle, but then he'd lived in a bad neighborhood, unlike this spoiled son of a Malcom X bodyguard. Even Mr. Wife, who admittedly is not as soft-hearted as I, tells of once, in his youth, stopping himself before quite tearing out the throat of a fool who was harassing his (Mr. W's) then-girlfriend. To tell the truth, he was overtrained at the time, which is no doubt why he was able to stop. He is still pleased that I am not the type to get him in such situations... ;-) And I imagine that a great many Rantburgers can tell even more interesting stories that don't require something so obvious as prayer beads.

#3 A magazine (People will do nicely) and a few heavy rubber bands will raise no eyebrows. Then you just roll it up into a tight cylinder about a inch in diameter and fasten the rubber bands at each end. Makes a nice truncheon, or you can drive the end into someone's throat. Pop the bands off and the weapon goes away.
